The company has showcased its expanded elastomer technology platforms and capabilities, including an industry-leading range of Silastic silicone and fluorosilicone rubber technologies and an expanded offering of Nordel EPDM suitable for automotive dense and sponge profiles. Silastic silicone elastomers are known today for their effectiveness in automotive and other demanding applications where performance, reliability, safety and aesthetics are essential. One of the highlights of the exhibit will be the company’s new Evolv3D LC 3335 Liquid Silicone Rubber for 3D printing. Based on Silastic elastomer technology and developed in collaboration with a leading 3D printer manufacturer – German Reprap – this breakthrough technology brings the power and versatility of silicone technology to liquid additive manufacturing. The material enables fast prototyping and production of complex parts as well as new design options that fully match the performance of traditionally molded parts.
